Emmalea Russo is here to discuss her ongoing course PSYCHO-COSMOS and the upcoming workshop we are hosting together DREAMS AS ART: Freud, Jung, Lacan In this discussion we dive into Emmalea's year-long class, "Psycho Cosmos," which explores the intersections of psychoanalysis, astrology, and art. The class features visuals, slides, and conversations, and has attracted a diverse group of artists, astrologers, and psychoanalysts. We highlight synchronicities, such as references to Freud's seminal dream “Irma's Injection” and Louise Bourgeois' spiders, and discuss the astrological significance of Neptune entering Aries. We discuss our upcoming workshop on Freud, Lacan, and Jung, and their relationship to art, where we'll explore dreams and life as creative expressions, and artworks as mirroring dreamwork. I also mention my upcoming classes on avant-garde art and psychoanalysis at Morbid Anatomy, and love for encouraging independent research and diverse perspectives. EMMALEA RUSSO is a writer. She is the author of four books of poetry and her first novel, Vivienne, was published in 2024. She has taught at various institutions including Saint Peters University, Northeastern University, The Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy, and GCAS.

Barry Taylor and Tripp Fuller discuss the changing religious and spiritual space and how it shows up in culture. They reflect on the shift in the Western conversation in the last 25 years. Barry raises a growing awareness in how the concept of religion people thought they were updating, reorienting, and morphing, wasn't ultimately finding traction in the historic religious institutions. WATCH THE EPISODE HERE Barry Taylor's work is focused on the intersections between religion, theology and culture, with a particular emphasis on the impact and interplay of contemporary digital life on religion and belief (particularly Western Christianity). He is particularly interested in religion where it is least obvious and in cultural clinamens- the behavior and phenomena that escape our categorizing and thus provide opportunity for re-framing how we think and approach life. Barry works with GCAS as the Chair of the Theology department.

Amhrastach i gcás Madeline McCann cúisithe i gcionta gnéis. In Germany, the main suspect in the case of the young girl Madeline McCann is accused of sexual offenses that took place in Portugal between the years 2000 and 2017. Sa Ghearmáin, tá an duine is mó atá faoi amhras maidir le cás an chailín óig Madeline McCann cúisithe i gcionta gnéis a tharla sa Phortaingéil idir na blianta 2000 agus 2017. It was announced today that Christian Brueckner, a 45-year-old German man, has been charged by the authorities in the city of Braunschweig with five sexual offences. Fógraíodh inniu go bhfuil Christian Brueckner, fear Gearmánach 45 bliain d'aois, cúisithe ag na húdaráis i gcathair Braunschweig i gcúig chion gnéis. Three counts of rape and two counts of child sexual abuse have been charged. Trí chúis éignithe agus dhá chúis maidir le drochúsáid ghnéasach leanaí atá curtha ina leith. The rape of a woman from Ireland in 2004 is one of the reasons. Tá éigniú mná as Éirinn in 2004 ar cheann na de na cúiseanna. Madeline McCann was last seen on 3 May 2007 while on holiday with her family in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal. Chonacthas Madeline McCann go deireanach ar an 3 Bealtaine 2007 agus í ar saoire lena muintir in Praia da Luz i ndeisceart na Portaingéile. The little girl was almost four years old when she left the apartment where the family was staying and she has not been seen or reported since. Bhí an gearrchaile beagnach ceithre bliana d'aois nuair a d'imigh sí as an árasán a raibh an teaghlach ag fanacht ann agus níl tásc ná tuairisc uirthi ó shin. Christian Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year prison term in Germany for raping a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz in 2005. Tá téarma príosúin seacht mbliana á chur isteach ag Christian Brueckner sa Ghearmáin faoi láthair as bean Mheiriceánach 72 bliain a éigniú in Praia da Luz in 2005. Although he was questioned about the Madeline McCann case, he denied that he had anything to do with her disappearance. Cé gur ceistíodh é faoi chás Madeline McCann, shéan sé nach raibh aon bhaint aige lena himeacht. Christian Brueckner Christian Brueckner
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 78 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 14 We spend a lot of time talking about the Woke Marxification of North America's public schools, but what about private schools? As many who send their kids there can tell you, they're just as Woke, if not Woker. Critical Education Theorists (Critical Pedagogs) have not ignored private schools, just like they haven't ignored elite private universities that these schools primarily service, but how do they really think about them? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay reads through a recent academic paper (http://www.criticaleducationnetwork.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/RCP_Feb2022_SusannahE.Livingston.pdf) regarding bringing Freirean and Leninist Critical Pedagogy into NAIS-certified private schools, and what is written by Susannah Livingston, recent graduate of GCAS (https://gcas.ie/)(Global Centre for Advanced Studies and teacher at an expensive private school in New York City, an explicitly neo-Marxist certification mill) is shocking. Join him to learn what elite parents are paying $40,000, sometimes $50,000 a year to subject their children to.

Easpa eolais ina chúis feirge ag feirmeoirí i gcás Bealach Glas. Landowners in Kilcolgan, East Galway, have expressed concern and anger as Galway County Council has not been informed of the proposed greenway between Athlone and Galway. Tá imní agus fearg léirithe ag úinéirí talún i Cill Cholgáin in Oirthear na Gaillimhe mar nach bhfuil Comhairle Contae na Gaillimhe ag tabhairt aon eolas dóibh faoin mbealach glas atá beartaithe idir Áth Luain agus Gaillimh. Aoife McCabe, who owns land in the plans for the proposed greenway, says she will have no business if the development goes ahead and safety concerns will be a concern. Deir Aoife McCabe, a bhfuil talamh leí féin sna pleananna don bealach glas atá beartaithe, nach mbeidh aon ghnó aici má leanfar ar aghaidh leis an bhforbairt agus go mbeidh cúrsaí sábháilteacht ina chúis imní di. Aoife McCabe owns almost 30 acres of farmland in Kilcolgan in East Galway - where she keeps Zwartbles sheep and horses - but she is now losing a night's sleep, she says, as Galway County Council is unwilling to meet about the course of the greenway between Athlone and Galway. Beagnach 30 acra talún feirme atá ag Aoife McCabe i gCill Cholgáin in Oirthear na Gaillimhe - áit a gcoiníonn sí caoire Zwartbles agus capaill - ach tá codladh na hoíche á chailleadh aici anois, a deir sí, mar nach bhfuil Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe sásta cruinniú a bheith acu leo faoin gcúrsa a bheidh ag an mbealach glas idir Áth Luain agus Gaillimh. The County Council has mapped out a number of proposals for the project - with Aoife's land at its heart. Tá roinnt moltaí curtha ar mhapaí ag an gComhairle Contae faoin togra - agus tá talamh Aoife ina chroí lár. Since the beginning of April, the landowners have been seeking a meeting with the County Council - a meeting that has not yet taken place but the Council held a meeting last Wednesday with homeowners living near the proposed greenway in the area. Ó thús mhí Aibreáin, tá na huinéirí talún ag iarraidh cruinniú leis an gComhairle Contae - cruinniú nár tharla fós ach bhí cruinniú ag an gComhairle Dé Céadaoin seo caite le úinéirí tí atá ina gcónaí ina aice leis an mbealach glas atá beartaithe ins an gceantar. Galway County Council has stated that this is their preferred route corridor but nothing has been determined yet. Tá sé ráite ag Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe gurb é seo an rogha conaire bealaigh atá acu ach nach bhfuil aon rud cinntithe fós. The Council says it has met with hundreds about the development and will be in contact with landowners who will be affected by the development but it will take some time to meet with all of them. Deir an Chomhairle go bhfuil cruinnithe acu leis na céadta faoin bhforbairt agus go mbeidh siad i dteagmháil le húinéirí talún a mbeidh tionchar ag an bhforbairt orthu ach go dtógfaidh sé roinnt ama castáil leo uilig. Lack of communication from the County Council causes anger and concern among landowners on the Galway Greenway Easpa cumarsáide ón gComhairle Contae ina chúis feirge agus imní i measc úinéirí talúin ar Bhealach Glas na Gaillimhe

Fear, bean á gceistiú faoi eolas a cheilt i gcás Ashling Murphy. A man and woman have been arrested and questioned by Gardaí on suspicion of concealing information about the murder of Ashling Murphy in Co Offaly almost two months ago. Tá fear agus bean gafa agus á gceistiú ag na Gardaí ar amhras gur cheil siad eolas maidir le dúnmharú Ashling Murphy i gCo Uíbh Fhailí beagnach dhá mhí ó shin. Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old teacher, was attacked and killed while exercising alongside the Grand Canal in Cappacurra, Tullamore, on January 12. Ionsaíodh agus maraíodh Ashling Murphy, múinteoir 23 bliain d'aois, agus í i mbun aclaíochta taobh leis an gCanáil Mhór i gCeapach an Churraigh, Tulach Mhór, ar an 12 Eanáir.

"Stuaim de dhíth maidir leis an mbreithiúnas i gcás Rittenhouse". U.S. President Joe Biden is urging the American people to respect each other's views and not resort to violence in the face of the judgment in Kyle Rittenhouse's trial yesterday. Tá Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Joe Biden, ag impí ar mhuintir Mheirceá meas a bheith acu ar thuairimí a chéile agus gan dul i muinín foréigin i bhfianaise an bhreithiúnais i dtrial Kyle Rittenhouse inné. The teenager was found not guilty in Wisconsin yesterday of the deaths of two men. Fuarthas an déagóir neamhchiontach in Wisconsin inné maidir le bás bheirt fhear. The two men were released and killed during a protest in Kenosha last year, while another was injured. Scaoileadh agus maraíodh an bheirt fhear le linn agóide in Kenosha anuraidh, agus gortaíodh duine eile. The protest involved a racial dispute. Bhain an agóid le haighneas ciníoch. Kyle Rittenhouse admitted that he was the one who fired the bullets at them, but claimed that he was trying to defend himself. D'admhaigh Kyle Rittenhouse gurbh eisean a scaoil na piléir leo, ach mhaígh sé gur ag iarraidh é féin a chosaint a bhí sé. This trial has led to controversy over the protection of human rights and the limitations of that right, as Kyle Rittenhouse decided to bring a semi - automatic rifle in protest. Tá cur agus cúiteamh eascartha as an trial seo maidir le cearta an duine é féin a chosaint agus na teorainneacha a bhaineann leis an gceart sin, mar go ndearna Kyle Rittenhouse cinneadh raidhfil leathuathoibríoch a thabhairt leis ag agóid. Joe Biden said he understands that this judgment will make people angry - including himself, he said. Dúirt Joe Biden go dtuigeann sé go gcuirfidh an breithiúnas seo fearg ar dhaoine - é féin san áireamh, a dúirt sé. But he urged the public to respect each other's views and not resort to violence. Ach d'impigh sé ar an bpobal meas a bheith acu ar thuairimí a chéile agus gan dul i muinín foréigin.

It has been reported lately in the news about how the country of Iran has been using bitcoin to get around sanctions imposed by the United States and how the population is using it as a hedge for inflation. To get a better understanding on the situation, I spoke to Salman Sadeghi (@salman_sadeghi), a Masters student at GCAS studying cryptoeconomics based in Iran.During the interview we discuss what is the experience on the ground for Iranians that are suffering under these sanctions, how he was personally effected by these sanctions, and his favorite left philosophers for understanding cryptocurrency. He also gives very interesting insight as to why the government recently banned bitcoin mining in the country purportedly because of the strain on the energy grid (hint: that wasn't the reason). These sanctions are economic terrorism against innocent people and a form of imperialism by the United States and as Lenin once said, imperialism is the highest form of capitalism.

For this week's episode I spoke to Dr. Emaline Friedman (@emalinus4). She is a network activist for the Commons Engine, part of Holochain, a social critic and theorist, has a PhD in psychology, a writer for Mad In America, a researcher at GCAS, and author of the recent book Internet Addiction: A Critical Psychology of Users. During the interview we talk about her research for her new book around moral panic about the internet, how that is closely linked to data sovereignty, and how it all brought her to working with Holochain and the Commons Engine. Emaline believes that we can remedy issues in mental health through participatory, p2p, and commons-oriented technologies and end up addressing a lot of the left/progressive agenda at the same time.SourcesEmaline's SiteSolidarity ClubCommons EngineHolochainIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Robin was at Guilford County Animal Shelter originally this time last year and was adopted but sadly had to return due to her owner passing. Robin is a one year old German Shepherd Mix who is 50 pounds of pure energy and love! She would do best as being the only dog in your family and Robin is super active so if you're into hiking, biking, or running- this is the companion for you! You can see Robin and all of the other adoptable pets at GCAS during an in-person or virtual visit here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Wet Nose Wednesday one again with another sweet pup from the Guilford County Animal Shelter. This week it's all about Memphis! She's a five year old, Black Mouth Cur Mix. Weighing in around 47lbs, Memphis is a medium-sized dog great with any humans- big or small. She is also is great on a leash and loves to take walks! You can visit with Memphis virtually, or in-person at GCAS by scheduling an appointment online. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I spoke to Creston Davis, founder of the Global Center of Advanced Studies (@GCASCollege), the first cooperatively run college using their own ethereum-enabled token (called GCASY) that represents shares in the college that can be used for paying for tuition and other expenses. Many well-known academics are a part of GCAS, including Alain Badiou and they've hosted seminars from the likes of Noam Chomsky, Richard Wolff, and Chris Hedges.During the interview we talk about how a conversation with Slavoj Zizek motivated Creston to start the "modern day Frankfurt School" that doesn't require students to go into debt, what it's like to be a student at the school (they offer bachelors, masters, and PhD degrees), and how GCAS's progressive model can reproduce itself in other ways similar to how universities in the age of neoliberalism have socially reproduced themselves into the economy.

HOW TO SHORT CAPITALISM: THE CRYPTO-POLITICAL ECONOMY OF ECSA Economic Space Agency (ECSA) is building the next generation network infrastructure for programmable economies. Most blockchain and distributed ledger technologies applications are oriented toward the creation of distributed markets, reinforcing rather than disrupting oligarchic concentration of wealth over time and questioning what “value” is actually traded. ECSA offers something different: a fully integrated, commons-oriented approach to cryptoeconomy. Economic Space + Cryptophilosophy + Post-Capitalism + Speculative Economy + Fabulation I met with Erik Bordeleau at the ECSA 'Economic Space Design Program' in the Haus der Statistik Werkstatt in Berlin to find out exactly what is 'Economic Space' and how we can claim agency. The readings and notes come from the subsequent 'Token Logic Design' seminar series with Erik at the School of Disobedience, Art and the Blockchain. ----more---- Edited transcript: JR: Can you tell me what exactly the Economic Space Agency is? I imagine intergalatic cryptocurrencies… EB: As it exists now comes from an initiative called ‘Robin Hood Hedge Fund Coop’ making captures on the actual financial markets. We were able to gather some money and redistribute it to projects that we found interesting. Commons-oriented projects essentially. And then blockchain and distributed ledger technologies came in. We were being Robin Hoods of the traditional markets, which can only go up to a certain point. Then with distributed ledger technologies, you can start to imagine creating new markets or new financial stratas that you can start operating with. The way I understand it is the opportunity to create a thousand financial plateaus, from which you can start deterritorializing finance as it exists, and start making value a little bit more multi-dimensional. One of the things we used to say at ECSA is that we are stuck in a mono economy, where everything gets valued within a very narrow set of coordinates, which we call capitalism. Which generates as all we know tremendous externalities. The way forward towards a post-capitalist economy needs to be towards recognising all these values that are considered external to our economic system. JR: What is fabulation? EB: Fabulation is a way of saying that you can't think of the 'real' economy, as opposed to the speculative economy. The economy is always speculative, all the way down. That's not something to judge, or it's not something to deplore. It's something to accept, to deal with, so we need to accept that we are also part of self-fulfilling prophecies or processes. We are part of that. We're a little bit lunatic at times, we are entertaining ideas that seem completely incredible. But it's part of the game. The economic game is fuelled with dreams, and fabulation is a term to name the passage from the virtual to the actual. As one philosopher I really like says 'Only people who are dreaming can modify someone else's dream'. You can't just go up to someone and make them change their minds. You have to be meeting people in the space where they dream, they're also dreaming of something... So, the open office was organised here at Haus der Statistik which is a dream itself. But a dream with a fantastic reality.. I would like to have this collective adventure keep on going, and grow organically. So there's a mix of fantasy, craziness, crazy ambition that we express collectively, but I also want other types of intelligences that are more grounded, closer to the granular aspects of all the relationality of our lives. I want that to be more and more part of our process. Because that's how something sustainable, organic will sustain in the future. That's really important. We're coming in with quite radical ideas but they need to be translated, converted into practices of different kinds, and that's what I envision for the future. A very multi-dimensional proliferating set of practices that share some sort of common financial or alter-financial understanding, so that we can federate when necessary for a common agenda, but otherwise most of the time developing these practices for their own sake. Economic Space Agency is a group of radical economists, software architects, finance theorists, game designers, critical thinkers and artists, coming together to reimagine the future of the economy. Our crew in Berlin includes, among others: Akseli Virtanen, Pekko Koskinen, Jackie Vu, James Foley, Jon Beller, Joel E. Mason, Erik Bordeleau, Fabian Bruder, Emma Stenström, Emanuele Braga, Tirdad Zolghadr, Matthias Einhoff and more. *** Erik Bordeleau Erik Bordeleau is researcher at the SenseLab (Concordia University, Montreal), fugitive finance planner at the Economic Space Agency (ECSA) and affiliated researcher at the Center for Arts, Business & Culture of the Stockholm School of Economics. His work articulates at the intersection of political philosophy, media and financial theory, contemporary art and cinema studies, with a marked interest for the speculative turn and the renewal of the question of the possible in contemporary thinking. He recently taught a seminar series in critical cryptoeconomics at the School of Disobedience at Volksbühne (Berlin) and is currently working on the creation of an MA program in Cryptoeconomics at the Global Center for Advanced Studies (GCAS). With Saloranta & De Vylder, he is developing The Sphere, a p2p community platform for self-organization in the performing arts, which is also part of ABC’s research projects. He is based in Berlin.

Economic Space Agency (Medium.com) A global collective working to remake the DNA of the economy. Programmed decentralised commons production, April 2017 Video: After Scarcity "A compelling economic sci-fi is mathematic disguised in a well-crafted storyline." SCREENING + DISCUSSION around "After Scarcity" (Bahar Noorizadeh, 2019) with Stefan Heidenreich and Economic Space Agency. Haus der Statistik, Monday 6th May, 19:30 to 22:00 pm For many of us, computer technology seems almost inseparable from the corporate hypercapitalism of Silicon Valley. In "After Scarcity", Bahar Noorizadeh explores the soviet cybernetic past in search of our possible post-neoliberal future. "How might we use computation to get us out of our current state of digital feudalism and towards new possible utopias? After all, what would Vladimir "socialism is electricity plus statistic" Lenin have to say about blockchain?" This fascinating 30 min. sci-fi essay film will act as a free indirect entry point for a wider discussion around the disruptive potential of crypto- and cyber-economies. Including: Stefan Heidenreich's recent work around a non-money economy partly based on algorithmic matching formulas, and ECSA's general proposal to build a financial and computational infrastructure for post-hayekian economy. “Flying through swarms of floating dots outlining monasteries and city streets, After Scarcity flashes through decades of history to propose the ways contingent pasts can make fictive futures realer, showing us that digital socialism was inbred into the communist revolution and that computation doesn’t mean we’re condemned to today’s tyranny of total financialization.” Complementary readings Imagine there's no money: dialogue between Stefan Heidenreich & Geert Lovink Geert Lovink: German media theorist Stefan Heidenreich has produced a concise proposal for a ‘non-monetary economy’. The book is entitled */Money/* and came out late 2017 with Merve Verlag in Berlin. Excerpts in English can be found at the Transmediale website. There we find the following description of Heidenreich’s project: ‘Given complex information infrastructures that have already been developed for documenting transactions, tying consumer habits to identities, and accurately predicting future exchanges, the substructure of a new kind of economy is now in place.’ March 2018 How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet. Peters, B. (2016) Cambridge: MIT Press. Red Plenty: Inside the Fifties’ Soviet Dream. Spufford, F. (2010). London: Faber & Faber. Review by Philip Cunliffe In the fifties, Soviet economic growth made it seem that the USSR might still win on the front of delivering material abundance to the masses: ‘Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan, and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche’... The heroes of Spufford’s Soviet dream are an entire generation of peasants brutally torn off the land and propelled on an astonishing ascent in the breakneck process of Soviet industrialisation.

Pando is a fully distributed and immutable VCS based on top of IPFS, aragonOS and the ethereum blockchain. Developed by the Ryhope Network’s team, it intends to become a community-driven standard. Its goal is to provide content creators, and mostly software developers, with a universal open-source versioning, cooperation and archiving layer. Pando has been crafted with the intent to be faithful to git’s philosophy while creating a bridge towards blockchain’s and ethereum’s rationale: a common good providing one more brick towards the decentralization of societies and the empowerment of human beings. That’s why we are building pando as an open source and standalone tool. No token, no ICO: just a medium to provide the blockchain community with a way to self-organize its development and its growth — though the Ryhope Network will use an homemade token to offer an income to free and open contents. Decentralized Autonomous Literary Organization: a decentralization of literature Pando Network, by inaugurating both a protocol and an interface capable of hosting and organizing collaborative creation, also opens great perspectives for literature. More broadly, should we not consider the possibilities opened up by the Ethereum blockchain, Aragon and Pando on the decentralization of literature, understood both as a historical mode for the valorization, diffusion and distribution of works, and as writing activities that govern these works? CIRCLES A self-issuance based cryptocurrency basic income Circles is an electronic cryptocurrency with the aim to create and distribute a globally accessible Universal Basic Income. In traditional debt-based currencies one sells goods, borrows money, or invests working power to receive money. With Circles, one receives money unconditionally to engage with their community, creating value through offering goods or services. Cryptoeconomics Is Hard Aleksandr Bulkin We are not used to designing economic structures. This is a wholly new territory. This article is an attempt to illustrate some very subtle problems people encounter on this road, often well after fixing them stops being easy or even possible. Economics is hard in general. The reason is that economics studies interactions in a very large group of people and people are not something you can model mathematically very well. But traditional economics works because it studies behaviors in a long-established system which changes very slowly. The way mainstream economic structures work is a product of years of research, governance, and social dynamics. In some sense you can say it was designed but a better way to look at it is that it was partly designed, partly discovered, and partly evolved on its own. So cryptoeconomics is harder, precisely because the economics of every single cryptoasset is designed from inception. This includes supply, inflation, rewards, fines, and so on. Cryptoeconomics of a token is a hybrid between rules programmatically implemented on a blockchain and the entire world of interactions real human beings have with it. Designing good rules necessarily entails understanding the way humans will interact with them. Talking token The full guide for understanding a token role in a token-enabled ecosystem Today seeing a yet another blockchain-powered project promising to change how the old world works is not a news. None of such projects fail to emphasize that “token is an essential part of the ecosystem”. Yet, a rare project convincingly explains “why it needs a token in the first place.” Often times a seemingly simple answer leads to countless nuances and triggers a lot of consequences. A token is a tool that ignites and powers a “digital cooperative” around some activity. The incentives it carries determine whether the cooperative outlives its creators (the token issuers) or becomes a facade for speculative activities with no one giving a damn what the token is needed for. Measuring Value in the Commons-Based Ecosystem Bridging the Gap Between the Commons and the Market Primavera De Filippi and Samer Hassan (MoneyLab reader #1) Lovink, G., Tkacz, N. (eds.) The MoneyLab Reader. Institute of Network Cultures, University of Warwick, 2015 January 31, 2015 Commons-based peer-production (CBPP) constitutes today an important driver for innovation and cultural development, both online and offline. This led to the establishment of an alternative, Commons-based ecosystem,based on peer-production and collaboration of peers contributing to a common good. Yet, to the extent that this operates outside of the market economy, we cannot rely on traditional market mechanisms (such as pricing) to estimate the value of CBPP. We present here a system - which we will name Sabir - that can resolve some of the most recurrent problems encountered within CBPP communities. The Sabir system is composed of three layers that will help us: (1) Understanding the social value - as opposed to market value - of different CBPP communities, so as to compare them to one another. (2) Identifying the value generated by individuals contributing to the Commons and evaluating it through a common denominator of value. (3) Creating an interface between the market and the CBPP ecosystem so that the two can interact, and benefit from each other. Keywords: commons-based peer-production, alternative economies SELF-CAPITAL (1, 2, 3) Self-capital is an ongoing video series by Melanie Gilligan. Smart art tv series to learn to see and feel like Capital. First shown Sept. 2009. POPULAR UNREST Popular Unrest is a multi-episode drama set in a future much like the present. Here, however, all exchange transactions and social interactions are overseen by a system called ‘the Spirit’. A rash of unexplained killings have broken out across the globe. They often take place in public but witnesses never see an assailant. Just as mysteriously, groups of unrelated people are suddenly coming together everywhere, amassing new members rapidly. Unaccountably, they feel a deep and persistent sense of connection to one another. The film explores a world in which the self is reduced to physical biology, directly subject to the needs of capital. Hotels offer bed-warming servants with every room, people are fined for not preventing foreseeable illness, weight watching foods eat the digester from the inside and the unemployed repay their debt to society in physical energy. If on the one hand this suggests the complete domination of life by exchange value do the groupings offer a way out?

The Paris Climate Accord was successful in bringing together the entire world around a common goal, but the focus was on what could be done at the national level. In light of the U.S. abdicating their own leadership role, there is a growing chorus demanding that subnational leaders take on the issue of climate change. The goal of GCAS is to inspire and elevate the solutions from those leaders.

Guests: Marisa de Belloy CEO, Cool Effect; Executive Director, Overlook International Foundation Gina McCarthy Director, The Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment, Harvard T.H.
